If you don't bid in time, talk to starboy2nv he has like 5 gauge clusters for sale 
And yes you do have to replace the whole thing, IMO led's is the way to go, I bought a set of gauge faces and they weren't for me, i never even installed em, i just sold em to paylahata8 for half what i paid for em cuz i wanted the black gauge look. Threw some green led bulbs in there and it was perfect, and much improved
Oh and don't pay anyone to do it, i've taken mine in and out like 5 times, it's real easy there's a diy if you can't find it lemme know

yay it came in today, took acouple mins to replace.
take off the 3 screws in the back of the cluster for what you want and it comes out, word of advice though is that the black part with the glass doesnt come with holes for the metal clips ontop and it comes with extra clips on the side that you will have to break off in order for it to fit.

just be really careful and you'll be fine.
I didn't break mine when I put them on & I don't care if it's ricey. Theres no such thing as a JDM CL anyway.

That's the scrapped Accord cluster he got off ebay... he's just trying to see how it looks when he puts it in the CL... Besides, Temp/Fuel needle will correct itself when you plug the cluster back into the car....

Nah, thats prolly b/c I dimmed it.
But I think you have indiglows?
I have reverse indiglows thats why the dials light up more than anything else.
Too bad our needles dont' light up

I've been wrong before though.....
It's like when your filling up gas in your gas tank. It senses how much you have in there reguardless if you've tampered with it or not. The needle will drop back to the setting of where the sending unit is. There is a resistance plate on those sending units to configure where the needle is suppose to be pointing.
I use to mess with my clusters all the time off my civic. Have never had a problem with miss reading fuel, however the temp needle is a different story.

Whatever, spoke with AznTLX yesterday - he fixed his problem.
